BOUNDARY SURVEYS

Boundary surveys are performed to locate, describe, monument and map precise boundaries and corners of a land parcel. These surveys involve record and field research as well as field measurements and computations. The findings are shown on a survey plat that is signed and stamped by a Kentucky licensed land surveyor and provided to the landowners. A description may also be required for purposes of recording a new deed. We perform our boundary surveys in accordance with the standards set forth by the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  Kentucky boundary survey minimum standards are located in 201 KAR 18:150.

Boundary Surveys Show:

• Boundary lines and property information (i.e. address, parcel numbers, deed reference, etc.)

• Location of structures ( i.e. houses, barns, permanent accessory buildings) related to property boundary lines

• Acreage/Square footage of subject property

• Potential encroachments ( i.e. driveways, fences, buildings) that cross over any boundary line

Boundary surveys are also the initial step in subdividing or consolidating a property.

It is recommended that a boundary survey be completed prior to any building or improvement on a lot to ensure that construction does not cross onto a neighboring property.
